GST Advisory

Introduction

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) was first recommended in 2004 by the Prime Minister of India to replace the existing Central VAT and State-level VAT tax system. After extensive planning and drafting, GST was finally implemented on July 1, 2017, marking the biggest indirect tax reform since India's independence. GST applies to the entire supply chain of goods and services, with tax levied at each stage from manufacturing/import to final retail sale. The tax is categorized into:

  • Central GST (CGST) levied by the Central Government
  • State GST (SGST) levied by the State Governments

With the implementation of GST, most other indirect taxes have been eliminated except for customs duty.

Importance of GST

  • Simplifies taxation by replacing multiple indirect taxes
  • Reduces cascading effect and double taxation
  • Decreases overall tax burden on consumers, which was previously 25%-30%
  • Improves compliance and transparency through IT-enabled tracking

GST regulations and provisions continue to evolve through notifications, circulars, and amendments. Businesses must stay updated and ensure compliance with the latest requirements.
